<h2>What's New in Version 1.7</h2>

</li></ul><div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='instass' id='instass'></a> Install Assistant</h2>
<div><span class='frame rfloat frame rfloat frame rfloat frame rfloat'><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/upgrade.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/upgrade_th.gif' alt='Install Assistant' title='Install Assistant' /></a></span></div>

</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='admstuff' id='admstuff'></a> New Features in the Admin Panel</h2>
<p>Ok, let's compare them one by one. There's quite a lot...
</p><ul><li><strong>Images</strong><br /><span class='frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat'><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/images_list.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/images_th.gif' alt='Admin Image List' title='Admin Image List' /></a></span>
</li></ul><p>Looks the same? Yes, but there's a new hidden feature: click on the red headline which says <br /><span  style='color: #993333;'> <strong>Images - Re-upload, Edit or Delete images || Select Categories / Keywords, month, ID</strong> </span><br />and reveal the new filter functions of the image list.
<br clear='all' />
</p><ul><li><strong>Comments</strong><br /><span class='frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat'><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/comments.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/comments_th.gif' alt='Admin Comments Section' title='Admin Comments Section' /></a></span>
</li></ul><p>We cleaned this section up a lot.  A bunch of buttons have been removed and replaced by a neat submenu for published, moderated and Akismet marked comments.
<br clear='all' />
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><ul><li><strong>Options</strong><br /><span class='frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat'><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/options.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/options_th.gif' alt='Admin Options Section' title='Admin Options Section' /></a></span>
<ul><li>General<br />New and most wanted: subtitle, admin panel language, thumbnails path, feed options and sorting preferences
</li><li>Thumbnails<br />New thumbnail sharpening option
</li><li>Spam Control<br />DISTRIBUTED SENDER BLACKHOLE LIST SETTING has gone as it wasn't very effective. (yes, we know that!) Akismet settings have moved here for that reason.
</li></ul></li></ul><p><br clear='all' />
</p><ul><li><strong>General Info</strong><br /><span class='frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat'><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/general_info.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/general_info_th.gif' alt='Admin General Info' title='Admin General Info' /></a></span>
</li></ul><p>Check out the new Donate Button.  And if you're in a generous mood, feel free to send a donation to help Pixelpost make even better!
<br clear='all' />
</p><ul><li><strong>Addons</strong><br /><span class='frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat frame lfloat'><a target='_blank'  class='urllink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/addons.gif' rel='nofollow'><img width='100px' src='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/uploads/GettingStarted17/addons_th.gif' alt='Addon Page' title='Addon Page' /></a></span>
</li></ul><p>The addons list has a new color scheme: green for running addons and orange for disabled ones. And to make it easier for you, we've sorted the addons in alphabetical order and grouped the disabled addons at the bottom of the page.<br />Addons with the wrong file permission are shown in red.
<br clear='all' />
</p><h2><a name='newtags' id='newtags'></a> New Tags in Version 1.7</h2>
<ul><li><strong>&lt;THUMBNAIL_WIDTH&gt;</strong> and <strong>&lt;THUMBNAIL_HEIGHT&gt;</strong><br />Free free to use them in your templates HTML code
</li><li><strong>&lt;FOCUS_TAG_LINKS_AS_LIST&gt;</strong> and <strong>&lt;FOCUS_TAG_LINKS_AS_LIST_PAGED&gt;</strong><br /> They behave similar to already existing &lt;TAG_LINKS_AS_LIST&gt; and &lt;TAG_LINKS_AS_LIST_PAGED&gt; but the other way round: the less popular tags have a larger fontsize then the popular tags.
</li><li><strong>&lt;SUB_TITLE&gt;</strong><br />Displays the subtitle that you entered in the admin
</li></ul><div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='feedopt' id='feedopt'></a> Feed Options</h2>
<p>You can set a feed title, description and copyright notice in admin options. Select which feeds you want to show and use the updated tag for autodetecting the feeds according to the feed settings: <strong>&lt;FEED_AUTO_DISCOVERY&gt;</strong>.<br />If you want to include your feed and link manually, you still can use the old tags &lt;RSS_AUTODETECT_LINK&gt; and &lt;ATOM_AUTODETECT_LINK&gt; (for backward-compatibility)<br />The comment feed can now be turned off and on in admin options.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='lang' id='lang'></a> New Languages</h2>
<p>In addition to the incredible number of <a class='wikilink' href='http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/Languages/Languages?action=print'>available languages</a> already included in Pixelpost, we now have two new languages,  Hungarian and Romanian. You can also choose Spanish and Swedish for the admin language.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='frontwsp' id='frontwsp'></a> Front Workspaces</h2>
<p>Until now, workspaces were only provided for the admin section. It was almost impossible to bring new functions into the front pages, like the image or browse page, without hacking the core files.<br />With the new front workspaces, addons can benefit of Pixelpost's own functions. A new world opens to addon authors and we all are very excited to see what you will be able to create with this new flexibility.<br />Right now most front workspaces are found in the comment section but there are already rumours about some hot new addons taking advantage of this. Such as new anti-spam addons or a reply-to-comments addon.
</p>
<div class='vspace'></div><h2><a name='bugfix' id='bugfix'></a> Bug Fixes</h2>
<ul><li>Newline in comments editing
</li><li>Removed hardcoded paths of images and thumbnails folder
</li><li>Image autodelete security solution
</li><li>"use exif date for publish" now works on all systems
</li><li>HTML code in site title
</li><li>Quotes in metatags
</li><li>Mass delete function now deletes everything
</li><li>Cleaning of spam lists in admin options
</li><li>More appropriate error messages
</li><li>Addon sorting before calling

</li><li>No longer shows empty alt tags and alt title in the image list
</li><li>Form fields keep their content in case of unsuccessful image upload

</li></ul>
